  • Hey...don't like it, don't watch it....how hard is that?

  • Thank you for your comments.

    They are obviously your own opinion.

    They make absolutely no sense at all.

  • 1) In that video the manouver is done in less than 10 kts, yet I did it, didn't I?

    2) Figure 8?? That's what the text book says..get in the real ocean, and try that..

    3) ?????

    4)main?? I talk about the main..maybe you weren't paying attention

    You get out of it by straightening the rudder.

  • A bunch of re*ards making stupid comments, probably dont even sail. Its a great video. When I took my basic cruising years ago the skipper did a figure 8 for MOB. I was thinking, this sh*t aint going to work in real life. This is the way I heave to and its as easy as the video says.

  • chiaro ed istruttivo !

  • Terribly incorrect. You may wish to reconsider so many points it makes your video obsolete. 

  • This is utterly charming and educational. Thank you.

  • Your reply to me was rude for no reason. Have you ever actually tried this? It generally doesn't work. You can't react that fast most of the time. I sail in very cold climates and sometimes extreme conditions. I also sail offshore, where heaving to won't generally work (and neither will figure 8s, since you'll lose site of the person). There are other ways to do it offshore or when you can't easily locate the MOB. You're example of heaving to will work in the very rare situation. Read and learn.

  • @Skinkegutt Do you even sail? Or did you randomly just watch this video and couldn't resist to comment? Coz if you DID sail you wouldn't have a reason to comment as this is common practice for stopping a vessel. Schmuck

  • Just one suggestion on the video. When instructing on heaving to by tacking, I think you need to emphasize reversing the wheel or tiller after the tack. At first I thought you left that part out. You do mention that you need to turn to port, but that instruction is not really emphasized and easily missed. I picked up on it when I saw the rudder on the diagram flip. Otherwise, instructive video.

  • Nice video!
